Summary: canon zr850
Comment: I was quite apprehensive after seeing many reviews about this product.
Agreed that the picture quality is not as good as the 8 mm tape camcorders, and the manufacturing lacks sturdiness, but its an excellent value camcorder. I only paid 180 for it.
Its quite easy to use -- even the wheeltrack on the display screen.
Primary reason for me to get this was the combination of camera and camcorder plus its quite light compared to my old 8 mm Sony.

Summary: computer hook up problem
Comment: I had trouble connecting to my computer. The problem turned out to be that I had external hard drives plugged into the fire wire ports. When I removed all other fire wire connections, it connected.

Comment: I received my Camcorder ZR850 quickly and found it to be just what I wanted, we will record all the items in our home and put into our safeydeposit Box at our Bank so if we are destroyed by a Hurricane or fire we have a record for insurance. Thanks again for the quick shipment.

Summary: OK Camcorder, Not Great
Comment: The price was nice but the buttons hard to use and the zoom difficult to use while holding the camera by the strap. Good time on battery. Just FYI, you have to have a firewire cable to transfer video to computer, get one online much cheaper. Also make sure you have a firewire connection to pc or you also will have to get a firewire card which you can also get online cheaply. Video good quality and sound good.
